Commentary on Employment Automated-Decision Systems

In this paper, we provide an overview of these proposed modifications, contextualising them within the larger artificial intelligence ethics debates and other similar legislation, as well as industry activity. We then identify some key themes in the legislation, namely i) ambiguity in terms of providing and justifying discrimination based on protected characteristics; ii) the lack of penalties for non-compliance; and iii) the lack of active obligations required of employers by the proposed amendments.
